Tarot Goodness for the Week of February 13th-19th: The Moon
Unfortunately, I think that even if some cover all their bases via the traditional route-- red flowers, pink hearts, Hallmark card, jewelry, dinner-- gestures may all feel a little half-assed. Because it's what most others are doing so these things lack thought, originality, meaning and any real effort. Calling 1-800-FLOWERS is not exactly difficult.
All of this is due to the energies of the Moon. These are feminine energies that run deep, so, yes, women will be large and in charge and in faces (hopefully not in mine if you know what's good for you). But I suggest thinking deep, too.
Gestures should come from a deep, considerate, wholesome place. Make something for someone else. Make time for a special someone-- not your Blackberry-- over a meal. Talk about each other, not that "royal bitch" or "asshole" at work or about those problems dragging you down, puss face. Show others that they are worth your energy and creativity. Hold hands. Hug. Hold and appreciate each other. Protect each other-- give protection and feel it. Go somewhere you won't have to hear an argument or bitter discussion between another couple unfolding at the next table (there could be quite a bit of that this year-- some people just aren't satisfied). Try to make sure that gifts mean something, that they tell a recipient that you are LISTENING, understanding them, and that you genuinely care about how they feel about things and where they are in life. (This is so very important.)
Sometimes red roses don't cut it. However, maybe that snowglobe that brings the apple of your eye a happy childhood memory could do the trick. If that seems stupid, try a handwritten love letter... or saying something wonderful. You'll figure out how to make others think and feel through what you give them.
The point is, this week isn't about the usual or ordinary or what's supposed to happen. Trust me, with the Moon in play here there will be absolutely nothing "supposed to" about anything. This should have happened-- nope.
This should be this way-- uh uh.
He/she should feel this way about me because... -- not a chance.
It would be wise of us to follow our guts. Honor our intuition and/or exercise it. Be grateful for it, protect it from "vampires". Some of us might learn of "vampires", stalkers, nuts, serial killers, hidden affairs, fucked up intentions, mysteries, and, of course, secrets.
Don't leave yourself open and vulnerable to shit, what else can I tell you here?
Some might be working the night shift. Try to exhibit some amount caution while commuting, traveling, socializing, etc, at night.
Nighttime will be power time. Oh, yes.
Don't make ass-umptions. Don't let anyone fool you into believing something (perhaps about another person) that is just not so, not real.
Careful with drugs, drug cocktails, mixing drugs with alcohol. Taking drugs for stupid reasons.
Withdrawal and/or rehab is probably gonna be necessary for some as certain habits/addictions are showing signs of interfering with your day-to-day routines, and, of course, obligations.
And by the way, I wouldn't take any chances on a big no-no even if I think I'm not gonna get caught ever.
I also wouldn't count on discovering a cause or root to an issue, a behavior or a concern. At this point, some roots and causes don't deserve our worry.
As for other roots and causes, well, we know what they are. Some just prefer to deny it all in favor of something that makes them happy, of making their situations seem pleasant and just fine and dandy.
It is what it is, some are who they are. Next!
Take note of those dreams, folks.
Privacy and quiet (perhaps deep breathing and just a few minutes of meditation each day) make for the ability to focus and ground oneself. It's OK to tune-out (in a healthy way). Draw the blinds, turn off the phones, put on some soothing music.
AS we are dealing with heavier than usual energy, it's normal to experience a somber mood, and perhaps for the waterworks to go on. After all, this IS the cold, very sensitive and intoxicating Moon card, and the scene is dark, somewhat creepy, intimate, maybe sexy. I hope the waterworks come from a sentimental or grateful place versus heartbreak.
But if you do find yourself heartbroken, this is actually a good time for healing, moving on and maturing. Take the opportunity. Sometimes there simply is no closure, it's not something that a magician can or will conjure up for us, and we need to close certain doors and draw up whatever choice or conclusion makes the most sense ourselves.
If you need the help of a counselor for this, that's fine. Some roads can be scary to walk through alone.
Drink LOTS of fluids.
Creative types can turn the week's energies into some amazing writing, songs, art, food/desserts, and other projects. Try fluid movements as well, like those you might find in yoga, dance, martial arts. Why not.
Whatever comes naturally to you is probably the best thing, as is withdrawing.
Have an awesome week!
